Coptotermes premrasmii Ahmad, 1965

( Figure 13D )

Coptotermes premrasmii Ahmad, 1965: 17–19 , fig.11.

Distribution

Thailand (South).

Remarks

This species was described by Ahmad (1965) from only two soldiers, and has not been recorded since. We did not collect this species. Judging from the original description, this species has a similar shape of head capsule to C. kalshoveni but the size is much larger than C. kalshoveni and the chaetotaxy on the head is more sparse.
